Cash-o-Matic Slot Review
Cash-o-Matic Slot Overview
ABBA sang that it must be funny in the rich man's world. NetEnt's answer, released on 24 June 2019, is a gold cash machine with two meters bolted to its left side, and its top prize stops at 2,200x stake.
The grid is 5x4 with 1,024 ways to win, paying from the leftmost reel. After a win, NetEnt's Reverse Avalanche keeps the winning symbols where they are and clears the rest. New symbols drop in, so a three-reel win can grow into a five-reel one on the next fall.
Fill whole rows with winning symbols and the Level Multiplier climbs. Bank 10 scatters in one spin sequence and the free spins start.
NetEnt lists the RTP at 96.33%, rates the game high volatility and gives a hit frequency of 12.00%. Most spins pay nothing at all.

How a win forms on 1,024 ways
NetEnt sets stakes at £0.20 to £100 a spin; UK rules cap each spin at £5, or £2 if you are 18 to 24. Pick yours and spin. Matching symbols pay when they sit on adjacent reels from reel one, in any row, and most of them need three reels to count.
Each win sets off a Reverse Avalanche. The winners hold, every other symbol drops away and fresh ones fall into the gaps, and the chain keeps going for as long as new wins land.
Cash-o-Matic Slot Paytable & Symbols
The reels carry card ranks from 10 to A and five gemstones. The red gem pays most and is the only symbol to pay from two reels. Each figure in the table is a multiple of your total bet, for two to five matching symbols on adjacent reels. Some sites call the octagon gem orange and others yellow, so we named it by its shape.

Cash-o-Matic Slot Features
Level Multiplier
The meter beside the grid moves up one level for each row you fill with winning symbols. It builds from the bottom row up. In the base game the four levels pay 1x, 2x, 4x and 10x, so a single full row earns you nothing extra, and the 10x needs all 20 positions sitting in wins at once.
Reverse Avalanche
NetEnt's usual Avalanche clears the winning symbols away. Here the winners stay on the reels and everything else goes, then new symbols fall into the gaps. That is how a row fills up over several drops.
Scatter counter
The second meter banks every scatter that lands during a spin sequence, avalanche drops included. Ten of them open the free spins.
Cash-o-Matic Slot Bonus Features
Free spins, paid for in scatters
Scatters land stacked, which helps the counter move. Bank 10 or more in one spin sequence and the free spins start. Each scatter is worth one free spin, so the round never starts with fewer than 10, and every row you fill with winning symbols during it adds one more.
The round has its own multiplier levels, set by how many scatters you banked to start it. With 10 to 14 scatters the levels are 2x, 4x, 8x and 20x. With 15 to 19 they are 3x, 6x, 12x and 30x, and 20 or more raise them to 5x, 10x, 20x and 50x. NetEnt's own game page does not list these levels.
Our Verdict Although 10 scatters inside one spin sequence is a high bar on a game NetEnt rates high volatility, this round holds the bigger multipliers: 20x at the top of the lowest tier, 50x at the top of the highest. We would not plan a session around reaching it.

NetEnt publishes one RTP for Cash-o-Matic, 96.33%, and its game page lists no lower setting. Open the paytable at your casino anyway, since it shows the version you are playing.
The hit frequency is 12.00%, so about one spin in eight returns anything. Add the high volatility rating and long empty runs come with the game.
Our Verdict The single published RTP spares you the usual hunt for a weaker version, and we count that in the game's favour. Let the 12.00% hit rate set your stake instead, and pick a bet you could repeat through long runs of empty spins without strain.
Cash-o-Matic Slot Graphics & Audio
Gold, engraved and a little stiff
The whole screen is one gold machine, with Art Deco styling and engravings on its frame. The reels carry five gemstones plus card ranks from 10 to A. Other reviewers find the game unexciting to look at and the symbols uninspired. We side with them on the gems.
A saloon piano on repeat
The soundtrack is a piano tune that belongs in an old saloon, with mechanical sounds as the reels spin. Opinions split from there: some call the music fun and say the piano sets the mood, while others rate the sound below NetEnt's usual standard.
Our Verdict While the piano has its fans, we find the look hard to love: a carefully engraved frame around gems that could sit in any older slot. The plain layout does keep both meters in clear view, and on Cash-o-Matic those meters are what you watch on every spin.
Cash-o-Matic Slot on Mobile
A cash machine this size would never fit in a pocket, but NetEnt built Cash-o-Matic in HTML5 and lists it for mobile as well as desktop. You can play it on Android and iOS smartphones, and on an iPad as well.
